About the role

Own the end-to-end reliability of Flashbots’ auction sandbox and enhance operational hygiene through collaboration and documentation.

Responsibilities

Own reliability end-to-end for the auction sandbox and related services: deployment, upgrades, incident response, and operational hygiene.
Audit and consolidate today’s scattered components into a coherent system with a clear roadmap, interfaces, and single DRI ownership.
Build and automate containerized environments for latency-sensitive searcher workloads (e.g., atomic arbitrage), including reproducible builds and safe defaults.
Create first-class operator + user docs: runbooks, examples, troubleshooting guides, and “known failure modes” playbooks that searchers can trust.
Partner across teams (TEE, infra, product) to expand sandbox capability while tightening security, isolation, and developer experience.

You have operated Linux production systems with real ownership: on-call/incident responsibility, upgrades, and long-lived maintenance.
Strong Linux + networking fundamentals; you debug below the dashboard (processes, sockets, filesystems, resource isolation).
Hands-on containers experience (Docker/Podman, image/build workflows, debugging inside containers). Ochestration familiarity is a plus.
A track record as a DRI for a complex service used by others (internal or external), including “boring” reliability work.
You write excellent docs, not as an afterthought, but as part of how systems become scalable and trustworthy.
User empathy: you ask about constraints, workflows, and success metrics before shipping changes that break someone’s setup.
